The baby activity mat is the best place for your baby to develop motility skills appropriate for
his or her age.

The toys in the center
of the activity arch of the baby activity mat by Karloova promote the
development of your baby’s symmetrical body position, stimulate bringing hands
to the center-line, and through that support the development of fine motor
skills and eye-hand coordination. You can add and take away toys from the loops in activity mat by Karloova.
In order to encourage your baby to look and bring their hands to the
center-line even more, it’s better to remove interesting objects from the sides
in the beginning, and to put just one toy on the baby’s center-line.

-
As your child grows
and develops, you can also add toys to other loops, so that the child would be
interested in examining his or her surroundings, and then to to be interested
in turning on their side and then on their stomachs.

-
You can also change
the toy suspended in the center-line with ease, if the child has lost interest
in the object in front of him or her. Karloova’s activity blanket is suitable
for your baby since birth.

There are extra edges
on the activity blanket with toys on it. They
make tummy time interesting for
babies. This will strengthen the baby’s core, neck extensor muscles, and the shoulder
area. If your baby enjoys being on his or her belly, then in all probability,
your baby woun't have problems with learning the next important motor skills
in child’s life – crawling and moving
both on their hands and feet. The extra toys on the edges of the baby
activity mat give your child visual, tactile (touching), and auditory
stimulation, thus stimulating visual, tactile, and auditory senses.

Our expert physiotherapist offers suggestions
what to do during the baby’s first months when the blanket is the main tool to
guide the first conscious movements.

As they are born, babies’ heads are turned to
either their right or left side, which means that the baby’s body position is
asymmetric. Roughly around the second and third month the baby’s body position
turns symmetrical, which means that your baby can keep their head on the
centerline for a longer time – to look at you and talk with you and to smile to
you. Your child is also able to consciously bring his or her hands to the
center-line to touch the toy suspended in front of him or her. In order for
those primary essential skills to develop, the baby has to have a stimulus as a
toy or an interesting object.
